I knew this was going to happen

I had drafted Chad Johnson on one of my fantasy teams and I was hoping for big things this season. Somewhere around week 3, I got a trade request, Chad Johnson for Warrick Dunn and Eric Moulds.

Now usually I wouldn't do this trade, but it got me thinking. I already had Kevin Jones and Steven Jackson so I didn't really need another running back, but Dunn was off to a crazy start. The Falcons were running that West Virginia option offense and Dunn was getting about 560 yards a game and much like a shiny new action figure, I just couldn't pass that up.

The Texans were also off to a pretty good start offensively and everyone was saying that David Carr had arrived as a quarterback, and yeah, that meant good things for Eric Moulds. Add to that the fact that Carson Palmer was coming back off an injury and the Bengals weren't totally in sync yet, it was pretty easy to talk myself into doing the trade.

Now, if you know me, you know that basically everything blows up in my face. I knew that Dunn and Moulds would either get up getting hurt or start sucking like . I even predicted that in one of my blog posts.

I'll quote the exact sentences for you.

"So this week I decided to shake things up a little. I just traded Chad Johnson for Warrick Dunn and Eric Moulds. Judging by how these players have started the season, I basically gave that guy a rectal pillaging. But let me not get to ahead of myself. By typing that sentence, I've basically doomed Dunn and Moulds to the Injured Reserve list, while Chad will now go on and set numerous NFL Records. Atleast Jay will be happy about that..."

Looks like I'm the one getting the rectal pillaging now. The Falcons are looking more like the West Virginia Institute of Girls that don't play football and Dunn is getting just about nothing on the ground. The Texans remembered that they're the Texans and I don't even have Eric Mouls anymore.

And to add salt to my already gaping wound, as you know, Chad Johnson has actually broken an NFL record last week. Just like I predicted....
It should come as no surprise then that I'm stuck in 7th place, getting humped in every possible way, while that guy is comfortably in first place, surrounded by naked women and headed for a championship.

Oh yeah, you know how Lee Evans had about 265 yards last week and 2 td's? You know there's always one pathetic loser that keeps a player like that on the bench that exact week, just because he's not expecting such an outburst??
Well yeah, that would be me....

Grasping defeat out of the arms of victory. It's become an art form...
